Huesca 1901: A Geographic Overview of Aragon's Northern Frontier in Spain

About the Item

The map provided is of the province of Huesca, located in the northeastern part of Spain, within the autonomous community of Aragon, as of the year 1901. Here are some of the key features depicted on the map: The map illustrates the province's varied topography, including the Pyrenees mountains along the northern border with France. Blue lines represent rivers and lakes, likely including the Ebro River basin, which is significant in the region. Red lines indicate roads and railways, showing the infrastructure that connects Huesca's towns and cities both internally and with neighboring regions. Various symbols denote the locations of cities, towns, and villages, with the capital city, also named Huesca, presumably highlighted. The coat of arms of Huesca is prominently displayed, reflecting the historical significance of the region with symbols such as the bell and the cross. About the province of Huesca: Huesca is known for its stunning natural landscapes, including part of the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The province is characterized by its high peaks, deep valleys, and glacial lakes in the Pyrenees, as well as the semi-arid central plain. Huesca's economy has traditionally been based on agriculture and livestock, but it has also developed a significant tourism sector focused on winter sports and mountain recreation. The region is culturally rich, with a history that includes Romanesque art and architecture, particularly in the old churches and monasteries scattered throughout the province. It is also home to the historic city of Jaca, which has played a crucial role in the history of the Pyrenees.

Eden Revisited, A Garden in Northern Morocco
By Rizzoli International Publications
Located in New York, NY
Author Umberto Pasti and Ngoc Minh Ngo, Foreword by Martina Mondadori Sartogo A lovingly photographed tour of internationally renowned writer Umberto Pasti's famous hillside garden in Morocco. Italian writer and horticulturist Umberto Pasti's passion for the wild flora of Tangier and its surrounding region led him to create his world-famous garden, Rohuna, where he has transplanted thousands of plants rescued from construction sites with the aid of men from the village. Planted between two small houses is the Garden of Consolation: a series of rooms and terraces with lush vegetation, some rendering homage to the paintings of Henri Rousseau, others inspired by invented characters. Surrounding the Garden of Consolation are the Wild Garden and a hillside devoted to the wild flowering bulbs of northern Morocco, where indigenous species of narcissus, iris, crocus, scilla, gladiolus, and others bloom. With its stunning vistas and verdant fields, Rohuna is a garden of incomparable beauty with the mission to preserve the botanical richness of the region. Captured here in detail by celebrated photographer Ngoc Minh Ngo, the poetic beauty of this special and unique place is lovingly rendered for all the world to see and share. About The Author Ngoc Minh Ngo is a celebrated photographer and the author of two books. Ngoc's images have been published in publications such as T Magazine, Architectural Digest, Cabana, and House & Garden UK. Umberto Pasti is a well-known Italian writer and horticulturalist. Martina Mondadori Sartogo is the founder of Cabana magazine...
